Memories

Dark skies holds sad memoriesMemories thought to have faded awayLittle wonder I see you when I gaze up thereStars seemingly connecting to show your faceThe moon as your heartLike a gateway Glowing with ever passing moment As sadness fills meFor this is just a memory of what could've beenLooking around me now lost in the starsFloating away into the galaxyTears from my eyes glimmeringLike a gateway to my soulMemories pulling Drowning me in a sea of regretIts your fault is all I hearAs I spin uncontrollably awayNever to returnOr so I thoughtOr so it isMaybe this was how it was meant to beMaybe its notI will never knowBecause my mistakes have blocked me out.
